    I could well be wrong Carl but i dont think so.I think if you want the 195/55/13 profile your limited to the uniroyal rallye.

    Don't believe that, 888's are fine in the wet, Paul B did a full track day in the wet on them...

    Fair enough. I've never tried them but probably will at some point.

    They are easily as good as any road tyre in the wet in my experience

    Re: tyres

    You used to be able to get a 195 45 13. I used some on a mini once. I've heard they're out of production now but could be wrong.
